It also supports the Spleen to aid in the transformation and transportation of water, which reduces dampness. It allows flexibility of use for the formula, ranging from supporting healthy skin to dispelling abdominal stagnation.

Poria and Asian water plantain rhizome drain Damp accumulations from the middle and lower abdomen, White atractylodes rhizome warms and dries the Spleen to stop Damp formation and restore Blood and Essence.
